Public bug reported:

Currently when anvil is building dependency packages and a package fails
to build it will stop building packages once it hit that failure.  If
you run run the build step , it will continue building packages after
the build failure.  If a package fails to build and your remove the
source rpm for that package - so that anvil continues to build the other
packages dependencies.  Once it has finished building only the packages
that were built *after* the failure will be in the repo.  This is
because we remove the rpmbuild directory after a build failure but keep
track of where we are in the build process.  The result is successfully
built packages are removed and we end up with a dependency repo that
only contains some of the successfully built rpm's.

It would be best to not remove the rpmbuild directory after an error,
but to remove it during the first part of the prepare stage - or even at
the start of the build stage.
